Life with Dudes Never Looked So Pretty
I don’t know who took the fun out of fundraising, but as far as I’m concerned, it’s not there and probably never has been. I can’t name many school or sports team fundraisers I’ve been a part of as a parent that I a) wanted to be a part of, or b) enjoyed being a part of even after the fact. And by many, I

I think most of us can agree that 99% of our inability to achieve something is our own fault. We start off wrong, we don’t follow through, our process is faulty,

This is a post sponsored by the National Fire Protection Association and Sparky.org. When Dude 3 was two years old, he suffered a major burn to the palm of his hand. While he can’t even remotely recall it, it’s one of those parenting things that I will remember forever and ever. He has always been my most clingy child and, as a toddler, he
